Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically detecting passive components in communications systems using radio frequency identification (“RFID”) tags. A coupling circuit is provided in a system between a communications network and an RFID tag. The RFID tag is associated with a passive element of a distributed antenna system (“DAS”). The coupling circuit can allow an RFID signal received from an RFID transmitter over the communications network to be transported to the RFID tag. The coupling circuit can substantially prevent mobile communication signals on the communications network from being transported to the RFID tag.

Abstract: A fiber optic connector having a radio frequency identification tag for optically coupling with a mated fiber optic connector, comprising: a housing; a fiber ferrule extending from a first end of the housing; a spring member provided within the housing; a tail sleeve connected at a second end of the housing opposite to the first end to fix an end of an optical cable; and a tag receiving portion formed in a sidewall of the housing, wherein the radio frequency identification tag is received in the tag receiving portion, and wherein the tag receiving portion is separated from the spring member and the tail sleeve in a longitudinal direction of the housing. The RFID tag overlaps with only the non-metal housing and the non-metal protection sleeve in the lateral direction. As a result, it can eliminate the effect of metal materials in the fiber optic connector on the reading performance of the radio frequency identification tag.

Abstract: Radio frequency (RF)-enabled latches and related components, assemblies, systems, and methods are disclosed that affect control of mating and/or demating of components. In one embodiment, a component is provided that includes a body configured to be mated to a second component to establish a connection. A latch is disposed in the body and configured to either affect demating of the body from the second component or mating of the body to the second component, when the latch is not actuated. A transponder disposed in the body can be configured to actuate the latch to either affect demating of the body from the second component or mating of the body to the second component. The transponder can also be configured to actuate the latch based on the identification information of the second transponder received through the communication connection or lack of receiving identification information from a second transponder or reader.

Abstract: An intelligent network physical layer management system is provided that includes hardware that tracks the connection of plugs of patch cords in interconnect or cross-connect patching environments. RFID signaling is combined with near-field communication techniques to provide a reliable physical layer management system. In interconnect configurations, RFID tags are associated with switch ports of an Ethernet switch, enabling the system of the present invention to detect patch cord insertion and removal at switch ports and to receive information about the switch ports. In cross-connect configurations, RFID signaling is used to track the connections of patch cords between two patch panels. Systems according to the present invention avoid the problems associated with traditional galvanic connections previously used for tracking patch cord connections. An alternative common-mode system is also described.
